SHERALI
Founder & Travel Consultant
Coming from the Samarkand region, I had a strong passion for learning foreign languages. This passion led me to study French and English at Samarkand Language University. After graduating in 2012, I completed a national certification to become a tour guide in my country. By guiding travelers for several years, I was able to explore every corner of Uzbekistan. In 2017, I decided to create Samarkand Explore to provide fully customized trips, off the beaten track and away from mass tourism. Today, our passionate team works on each and every itinerary to make this trip YOUR trip and make sure you have the most memorable experience.
AKBAR
Travel Consultant
Originally from the Khorezm region, located in the northwest of the country, I started as a guide in the city of Khiva. Then, I started guiding travelers in other cities of Uzbekistan as well as in the neighboring countries. My skills in French and Italian allowed me to organize several conference trips in Uzbekistan. With my 20 years of experience in tourism, I joined the Samarkand Explore team as soon as it was created in 2017. Today, our theme trips on architecture, medicine or agriculture have no secret for me. Don’t hesitate to ask us for your conference trips in Uzbekistan.
ILYOS
Travel Consultant
Inspired by the beauty of languages, I started to learn French with my older brother who is a guide, but also to teach this language in my local village school. During my university years, I completed a national certification to become a guide. I finished my university studies in 2012 and started working as a French-speaking driver. Over the years, I have accompanied many travelers, giving me a solid experience in tourism. I joined Samarkand Explore in 2017 to share the sites, values and traditions of my country with travelers from all around the world.

I was lucky enough to be introduced to French culture as a child by my mother who was a French teacher. When I entered the Samarkand University of Languages, I met Sherali who helped me to become a guide. After graduating in French, I joined the Samarkand Explore team. My main role in the agency is to guide travelers throughout their journey in Uzbekistan. Apart from the historical sites, I especially enjoy sharing the habits and customs of my country. Friendly, and thoughtful, I like to share with my travelers.
